The crew shoves 4 empty reefers and 2 boxcars down the Creamery Spur. The reefers will be set out at the Land O'Lakes creamery at the far end of the spur, and the boxcars at the Cargill Flour Mill.

Here’s Britomart starting a short train of empty slate waggons out of Minffordd Yard before coasting along the Mineral Line and then getting a little tap on the regulator. You can get some nice effects when DCC locos are ‘driven’. Am I changing anyone’s mind here?

Returned from our holiday via the #WatercressLine today. Because of the drought, steam was limited to Ropley brake van rides. Peckett 0-4-0 “Kilmersdon” with Queen Mary van was good fun. Two train service: D8059 on a paltry load 2 😕, 47579 on load 5. Not much thrash, even on the climb out of Alton.

Spotted on the national network this afternoon at #Didcot. What looks like an old 4w goods van chassis was transferred by DB-Cargo between the loco shed and Great Westerv Society. The usual open wagons were also in the consist, one carrying black diamonds for the steam fleet.

Loco no go-go. My N scale layout has been dormant for a long time. Looks like some of my locos need some TLC. This Atlas SD7 just buzzed louder as I advanced the throttle. On another loco I popped off the bodyshell and manually turned the armature to get it working. Not with this one though! 😕

I visited a friend for an occasional US themed model meet today. We didn’t run any trains on his main layout due to some severe rail buckles! I’ve never seen buckles this bad. 4 sets of points were affected, plus some lengths of plain line. The points will need replacing - not a trivial task!

A photo of some N scale model railway track. There are two sets of points and both are badly buckled due to the heat in the train room.

Another ride today on a Cross Country Voyager, to remind me how awful these trains are. Very restricted view out of the window, an uncomfortable seat and the saloon stinks of diesel fumes. 👎 😞

Things were never the same when the class 50s were withdrawn. The 47/7s were a novelty for a while. Then the 159s came. It turns out they did a damn good job- and are still doing it to this day! But. To me, the 50s were king on the Waterloo Exeter trains. #modeltrains #modelrailways #Latchmere

I'm setting most of my stock to roughly 2006, which means weathering and graffiti. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I love finding cars on rrpicturearchive.net to make copies of. I've just finished a mural on a Railbox FMC boxcar, my favourite job so far. Weathering still to be done.

Privileged to join guests at Darlington station in the small hours of this morning, to welcome a replica of Stephenson's Locomotion No. 1 as it joined the Darlington-liveried @lner.co.uk Azuma train before recreating its journey to Stockton just as the original had 200 years previously to the day 🙌

An old steam locomotive formed of a boiler with two large driving wheels on each side, a long tall chimney at the front and an array of pipes and connecting rods.

A modern electric train which is white in colour with a red and orange design applied centrally down its length, containing the word 'DARLINGTON', viewed from the front. The old steam locomotive described in the previous photo sits alongside.

Viewed from behind, a group of railway engineers stand next to the old steam locomotive described in the first image for a photo.

A large group of people under a cavernous, arched station roof, all looking into the distance as a steam train travels through. The station roof is lit in red lighting.
